We also deserve better than you. Your vote to condemn socialism is disgraceful & plays exactly in the GOP’s hands. Establishment Dems like you aren’t that much better than Republicans when it comes to working for Americans rather than deep pocket donors. I hope someone primaries the fuck out of you
Donald Trump is deeply unpopular.

And the Republican economy is a complete disaster.

You deserve better.

I warned that private equity taking over Walgreens would be bad for workers.

This is the private equity playbook: they hollow out businesses, cheat their workers, and drive them into the ground.

Red Lobster, Toys "R" Us, and Joann Fabrics. Who’s next?
Report: Walgreens cuts hourly workers’ pay for 6 major holidays
The hourly employees will only be paid if they work on those holidays.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

And this right here is why I love lawyers.
In the law firm executive order cases, DOJ takes the position that an injunction barring implementation will only be enforceable against the govt agencies named in the complaint. So Perkins Coie just amended its complaint to name all the relevant fed agencies. The case caption is now 40 pages long.

The default Dem position should be that nothing under Trump is valid.

Trump didn't honor his predecessors' agreements. He didn't even honor his own trade agreements. He didn't honor Congressional appropriations. He doesn't follow laws.

Clean slate. If you rely on him, your loss.
Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”

Really can't be emphasized enough that Kamala Harris, like most Democrats, did not actually run on the defense of trans people in 2024. The real ask here is for Democratic candidates to join in attacking a minority population that is being persecuted by the current administration for votes.
Damn. Just overtly and unapologetically saying you are willing to sacrifice part of the population.

And these folks call themselves "moderates." Incredible.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.

First, it was bathrooms, then sports, and now they’re getting to what they really wanted — the complete erasure of the trans community.

Also, if you think this is going to stop at trans people, you are deeply mistaken.
I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.
